My girl and I actually caught that live on Racebuddy--the "backstretch" cam was focusing on him. I thought I was watching another caution about to come out. That was Kyle Busch level.

Good timing for everyone then. On the TV broadcast they were doing one of those 'through the field' things, a sure sign nothing interesting is happening, and just as they cut to Pastrana from Annett he just comes sliding into view out of the corner.

Well I thought it was pretty naughty at first, but a) anything that keeps Harvick from winning is OK b) throwing your bottles out the window in an unobtrusive area is actually common and accepted practice and c) NASCAR now reports that's not what caused them to throw the caution.

That water bottle drop sure looked suspicious. If Brad wanted to the bottle to go to the inside of the track, he would probably:

1) Not drop it in the dog-leg portion of the track.
2) Not be pointed in the direction of the wall when he threw it.
3) Impart some force towards the inside of the track while throwing it, instead of just dropping it.

Then again, maybe physics wasn't one of Brad's stronger subjects.

Check Gluck's Twitter timeline.

Apparently,-Brad threw no fewer than three water bottles out during the race-He claims he threw the last one 10-15 laps before the last caution-NASCAR explicitly clarified that drivers throw water bottles from their cars all the time and that it's never a caution

ESPN was just stirring things up and Harvick, being the hotheaded idiot he is, took the bait.

Also, I've seen drivers throwing water bottles from their cars and they always just drop them out the hole next to the window net.
